Why each option

StumbVerter is a specialized companion utility that imports NetStumbler log files and renders the collected wireless access points as color-coded icons on street maps.

ANetStumbler

NetStumbler is the active wireless scanner that collects the data in the first place and cannot render its own output files as mapped icons.

BWEPcrack

WEPcrack is a cryptographic attack tool used to recover WEP keys from captured IV packets and has no mapping or visualization capability.

CStumbVerterCorrect

StumbVerter reads NetStumbler's native .ns1 data files and plots each logged wireless access point onto a street map via Microsoft MapPoint integration, using icon color and shape to convey WEP encryption mode and signal strength. This makes it a post-collection visualization tool purpose-built to complement NetStumbler's wardriving data.

DKismet

Kismet is an independent passive wireless sniffer and IDS that operates in monitor mode and does not read or display NetStumbler-formatted data files.
